SHERMAN, TN, Aug. IT, 1851.
To the Editor OF the Gazette
Yours of recent dste requesting that
I give my views as TO what should be
the future policy of the Democratic party
on prohibition was duly received, AID
would have been attended to earlier but
for professional engagements. Without
arguing the point, | assume as true that,
il party sense at least, prohibition Was
not un-DemocTatic in the late election,
Whether it is contrary to the principles
Of Democratic government was a subject
of consideration by each Democrat.
The relation of Democrat to
the party was not changed by his vote for
or against the amendment. The party
chose not to make it test OF party feaily
and we cannot make il such after the
election without manifest injustice TO
those who have exercised the right OF
deciding far themselves. AS to the psst
therefore the only correct and isir policy
for the party to pursue is to say nothing
as to the right or wrong Of the action OF
either the pro or Gnti Democrat. To de-
clare thst prohibition is undem-
ocTatic would be to condemn the
Judgment and actions Of many good Dem
ocrats upon question submitted to them
as voters and not IS Democrats. The
convention should in my judgment strike
out the local option plank and leave the
question where it was before. The vote
has settled the matter SO fsr as ell good
Democrats a-e concerned, End 10 let il
alone is the best policy unless the pro-
hibitionists shall renew the agitation.
II the prohioitionists should force the
question before the country sgsin i:
would De an issue made by them ant
the great body Of Democrats who voted
with them would stand by the Demo-
cratic party in taking firm stand to pu'
az ED to spch agitation, and thus ne

NEATHIEE ORD. Ten, Aug IT,, l5Sl.
To the T. it9r OF the Gazette
Question l. in view OF ire fact, that
tue question Of prohibition was settled by
S majority of go 900 against 4. and there
fore not likely to come up a5 d question
in state politics again for very many
years, Is il wise. is l. eXpedieGt and is IL
TO the best interest of the Democratic
party Of Texas, as now constituted for
either prohibition or Gntl-prohi0itiOn
Democrats 10 continue the agitation Of
the subject with view to making the
opinions and votes in the late canvass g
party test next year.
Il is my opinion that 70 party test
should ever be made On any question
thst had no connection whatever with
partisan politics, and by stronger reason
ing, no test could be made on 8
vote Cor prohibition or against il when
the psrty platform Of the last ststc con
vention had lef, the matter wholly
within the discretion OF every voter.
Stste Democracy knows 10 higher law
than the platform Of the last state con
vention, and no political party can afford
to pass and enforce an ex post fdcto
law
Question > "W0uld, or would it not
be pest for the Democratic party as G
whole to regard the matter as settled and
leave it wnere it now stands, buried be
meath q majority of nearly 100 000?"
1t is my opinion that the platform Ct
the Democratic psrty should remain as il
now is on the prohibition question
Changes in the policy Of q party should
be made only after mature
| delibcration and when there
exists an unmistekaole necessity for suCl
! change, and at g time when the public
mind is wrought uptO fever heat by g
recent political conflict within the domi-
nant party, as thIs mas been, any chaQ@s
so as to o>tracise either wing OF the Unfty
would be unwise and imDOi.ic.
| Question 3. "This last inquiry IN
vo,vys the consideration Of the furthei
question: Whrrher or not the Democracy
! Of Texas mas other foundation for exist
enCe, and mission in life, than tde dis
cussion OF the question Of ststc prohibit
ton which ga immense majority relega
ted to The rear for many years il not for
ever"
When the Democratic party reduces it!
Platform to one single plank, be tina
plank either prohibition, finance, tariff
or what not, it is then no longer Demo
cratic party, therefore there must OF ne
cessity be other motives for the existence
and parpetuity Of the Democratic party
than the consideration of the prohibition
question. Prohibition is princi
pie that can never die
but il view of ell tn
surroundings l think further agitation o
the question as test of partisan fealt
entirely arbitrary, and if it is attempted
have 40 doubt but it will recOil upol
those who make the attempt. to their pc

SrnlInned Turtle.

Miss Rendau, n French girl nineteen
years old, who resided on Forquerstrcet,
Chicago, was buried on Wednesday. Her
death was unexpected, though the young
lady had been subject TO violent spasms
and fits Of vomiting for many days. No
doctor was able to discover the cause Of
her death. On the day before her death
she was seized with n more violent
paroxysm than ever before. There was
n choking sensation in her throat. and
finally there was forced up from her
stomach a live young swapping turtle,
with a shell as large as silver halt.dol-
lar.
Or. Hutchinson, who was in attend
auce. said the patient became uncon-
scious. and almost Immediately began
to swell up IN her limbs, like one af-
hicted with the dropsy. She never raj
lied. The Doctor took the turtle. and
now has il in an alcohol Jar in his office.
IL is a perfect specimen OF It's kind, and
it is believed that it grew from germ
swallowed in water from Lake Michigan.

associates among men rather than among
the infants, Of which he is really one.
One day not long ago he got on the cow
catcher of a Georgia Midland locomo-
tive to take n ride, but fell of and
upon the track, where he lay while
the engine and train passed over
him, rising up at the rear end OF
the train uninjured and cnuckllng at
the adventure. So amusing was it that
few days afterward he went down to
the track and deliberately laid down IN
front Of the locomotive, unseen by the
engineer, for the purpose of repeating
the episode. and again succeeded IN es-
Gaping without injury. But his singular
predictions were discovered, and he
has since been forbidden the track 10y
maternal authority, and has had his
freedom curtailed in a manner that must
prove very irksome to his adventurous
